Basketball Season is right around the corner!

If you have an athlete that would like to supplement their Middle School, or CPRD basketball season, this is a great opportunity to do that! There will be two try-out sessions to come show off their skills, and coaches will evaluate how many kids we have, and the skill range, to appropriately place kids on teams.

This is open to athletes outside of St. Paul to participate in, however, if numbers are too large, in-district athletes will get priority.

Important dates:
MS Girls Regular Season - Oct 20-December
MS Boys Regular Season - January-Feb
CPRD Recreational Teams (K-8)- Jan-Feb
Tournament Play - 4-6 Tournaments Nov-Mar

The tournament play is designed to be more competitive than regular season or rec play, and meant to fill in schedule “gaps” so that kids aren’t going months between seasons without staying active.

Please reach out if you have any questions! Email stpaulyouthhoops@gmail.com

or call/text Angie 503-302-7465.

Hope to see you there! Please register ahead of time. There’s no fee to register!
